Just randomly checked USCIS page and got Oath Ceremony notice mailed. Scanned doc provided and was surprised it was actually in town. scheduled month and day from today so about 6 wks from interview

Wife PASSED.  Man we forgot to reread the notice and showed up a little early and were curtly told to leave due to the covid protocols. I forgot mask in vehicle and they didn't offer any anywhere. But found spare in pocket.
Brought all originals they didn't ask/look for ANY of it. Received a Interview  results paper the USCIS page just updated now saying recommended for approval and notice will and oath schedule will be in the mail.
Was a bit unnerving having to go back down to the lobby and wait as not allowed to attend and wait up there.  Like useless as our children's births.  Then she was back in like 10-15 min.
I guess she got all 6 ?s right so they just stopped asking and went over the N400 alot which wasn't quite expecting.
Recommended our N400 approved and Oath Ceremony to be scheduled. 
A little peeved to stay the night and 2.5 drive and coordinate kid care for such a short visit and then have to come back but obviously worth it.

We got interview notice today and are out of town for holidays but the pdf of the notice is on site and scheduled Feb.  So yes very surprised at how fast. HOPEFULLY all done very soon here....

Further updater for anyone waiting: Husband had interview/test today at Albany NY office. Was approved (he was in there no more than 30 minutes!), and will take his oath next week on 2/4. Went way quicker than we expected!
 
Full timeline for us with the Albany NY office: Filed 8/2/21, biometrics appt 12/21/21, interview/test 1/28/22, oath 2/4/22.

just noticed the ETA for our case is already showing 12 mos from initial 13 just after couple days. Not sure how truly accurate but nice to see I suppose

Submitted N400 online late yesterday evening/early this AM.
Got account information update when woke up w/ Case receipt and biometrics reuse notice in account updates. 13mo ETA.
Thought we'd this hard at 3yr but w/ the kids and everything didnt get to it until 5 yr anyway.

We've had tons of questions on whether the Ho Chi Min City US Consulate in Vietnam has been approving family based US Visas (and if so at what rate).  To answer that, we dug into the official US State Department data and plotted visa approvals for K1, CR1, IR1 and IR5 visas over the last 2 years. Here is what we found:
 
K1 Visa processing is recovering.  It's still below average after a 3 month pause in processing last summer, indicating a backlog. IR1 Visa and CR1 Visa processing times are back to pre-Covid rates.  There was a processing surge that seems to have made a dent in the backlog due to the 3 month pause last summer. IR5 Visa processing had a HUGE surge in April showing an all hands on deck effort to process the backlog after 11 months of being stopped.  This is very promising!  
The full data is below.  What are your thoughts?
 

Oh ok thanks for that.
  I have another question please. What type of documentation do we need to submit along with the Form N-400?

One day down... 4 more days to go... LOL 

Me too! 😂 

Did you see approved in your account? I hoping to something like that. My case is in CSC from past June 2018. I hope you get your cards soon.

Checking in! Haha. Another week of nothing!

Hello there!!
i just found this thread, I spend like an hour reading the some of the comments...I’m so tired and frustrating with this process, I feel I’m getting insane, checking the website every day!! My timeline:
 
I-751applied on 01/14/2018
NOA 01/26/2018
NOA2 08/18/2018 ext for 18 months
02/04/2019 Transferred to Nebraska
 
and since then, it’s not moving... I applied for my N-400 on 02/15/2019 and got my biometrics done on 03/07/2019.

Let's hold tight..

I'm losing my mind and losing hope here.....

Thank you all for always being so supportive and understanding! It’s so helpful!
The silver lining I thought of is that not very many of us got shipped there so once they do start it should go fast.... 
Your recruiter shouldn’t be able to make a problem if you show the extension letters. Those are 100% solid as a rock to get you hired. Best of luck to you! Your recruiter is lucky to have you
 

@Nele - it is really luck of the draw.  Nebraska is reportedly the slowest one of all four Service Centers.  But you can never know what USCIS is up to.  Last year at this very same time, Vermont was ahead of California by several months based on the filing dates.  Low and behold, California unloaded a bunch of (unlucky) cases filed in October 2017  to December 2017 to Nebraska and Texas, and then CSC started to approve tons of January 2018 and February 2018.  VSC did the same but it just started to touch January 2018, so VSC is now two months behind CSC, at least.
 
My point is - you never know.  Approvals may be flowing out of Nebraska like Niagara Falls in the next week.  We just have no idea.

I dunno; he's picking up and leaving for 1/2 across the planet. Not sure what else is in 6th grade curriculum in VN but I dont think finishing school year or not would make any difference in preparing for the change to come.

I know 🙁, that’s why I’m doubting it to do it or not , but at the same time I feel like I should check since some people is already getting approved.. I’m so stressed thinking the worse about why some people get approved fast and others don’t 😓
